Host Gregory Rich welcomes Twin Cities based artist Bob Hest. Bob believes “a successful painting must tell the audience who that person is,” and his bold, expressive style reflects just that—portraits not just of faces, but of emotion, story, and identity as well as abstracts that are not your typical landscapes, objects and events. Bob creates emotions on canvas (and other substrates). This episode explores what drives Bob’s unique approach to art, the role of empathy in visual storytelling, and yes—his favorite cocktail while painting.
